How did they let 4 more years of this happen, I would have voted for fucking Bush if I had to.

Romney may be a capitalist asshole, but he was an astonishingly good choice by Republican standards. Wish we had gotten him instead of Trump - it might’ve avoided all this garbage.

That's naive. Trump was a near-inevitable symptom of late stage capitalism, not a stroke of dumb luck.

Do you need an explanation? Well, the democrats are worthless pieces of shit, and it allows the republicans to win, especially when the democrats nominate the most unpopular people they can find.

Any more questions? You are next by the way.
